ESAP Theater finalists present performance inspired by La Fura dels Baus

On June 12, the ESAP Theater finalists presented a performance inspired by La Fura dels Baus.

On June 12, at 3pm, ESAP’s final-year Theater students, under the guidance of teacher Margarida Machado, presented a performance at the Theater Studio inspired by La Navaja en el Ojo, by the Catalan company La Fura dels Baus.

La Fura dels Baus is one of Spain’s most emblematic performing arts collectives, specializing in large-scale visual performances in public spaces. La Navaja en el Ojo, a title inspired by Luis Buñuel’s film The Andalusian Dog, was a performance held in 2001, in collaboration with Vogue Spain magazine, based on the seven deadly sins of Christianity, and was used to inaugurate Valencia’s Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava.
